TRFC submit incomplete Annual Return

1075

Companies House published the long overdue Annual Return for The Rangers Football Club Ltd (previously Sevco Scotland Ltd) today.  Although only received by Companies House yesterday (12 Sep 13) it was dated 29th May 2013, however, the submission was incomplete.

A company is required to detail all their shareholders since their previous Annual Return (or as in this instance, since formation).  Companies House say the Annual Return must detail “the name of every shareholder (or joint-shareholders) who has ceased to be a shareholder since the made-up date of the previous annual return (or in the case of a first return, since the incorporation of the company)”.

The only shareholder detailed on this Annual Return is Rangers International Football Club PLC (RIFC PLC).  RIFC PLC was not formed until 16 November 2012, nearly four months after Sevco Scotland Ltd was formed, so could not have been a founding shareholder.

And there’s more…….

The Rangers Football Club Ltd issued a Statement of Capital to Companies House, dated 31 October 2012, showing the same number of shares in issue as this Annual Return (33,415,200), some two weeks before Rangers International was formed.  The Statement of Capital was submitted by Caroline Nicholls of Field Fisher Waterhouse LLP, who should be in a position to assist the directors.

I’d never really given any consideration to who owned Sevco Scotland Ltd  prior to the shares being consumed by Rangers International, but this omission is curious.  The story will move on now with auditors Deloittes taking centre stage.  They have plenty on their plate prior to signing off the PLC’s accounts so may be happy to turn a blind eye to the reporting requirements of a subsidiary company.  Companies House already have an active issue over submissions for Sevco 5088 Ltd, it remains to be seen whether this one passes below the radar.

This is all so unnecessary as I am sure the correct information would be perfectly appropriate and in good order.

Can you imagine what we would be doing if our ‘club’ was being run in this manner?  This story is being played out while all those who should be asking questions are being distracted by a player betting against his own club!

In the grand scheme of things it doesn’t matter if Ian Black hedges against himself, or what embarrassingly light punishment he receives.  The real story is so much bigger, it is being written in large type, visible from the moon landings, but the football authorities appear happy to stand back and let events take their course.

No looks of surprise next time around – from anyone.

    cheers – I was just curious cause on the odd occasion I go down that road there is always someone just speeding past me – and I’m never sure if they know something I don’t about the camera’s working

    10:56 on 14 September, 2013quick question for the Ayrshire bhoys – have you ever heard of anyone getting done with speeding with those average speed cameras on the A77

     

     

    Yes, a guy I work with and if yer going to the day oot, I’ll elaborate further… £60, 3 points…

     

     

    Ayrshire is Green and White

  3. Weeminger whether or not the club thinks its cute is irrelevant. It’s absolutely disgusting that they are trying to spin h and s issues to join in with the victimisation of a group that has broken no laws.

     

     

    Can we trust them on any level?

  4. This will be a hard game today. Hearts have a cause and their levels of effort will be raised because they’re playing Celtic.

     

     

    Time for Celtic to step up.

  5. No Skwerr Sausage?

     

     

    Pre match Breakfast up the Braes…….consisting of smoked and honey cured back bacon, pink ham, fried tomato, fried mushrooms, little crisp rolls of bacon, dishes of scrambled and fried eggs, fried black pudding, hot toast in white napkins, fresh rolls, sweet curls of butter, marmalades of all cuts and colours, jams, jellies and pyramids of fruit all cuts and colours, jams, jellies and pyramids of fruit.

  6. NegAnon2 There is a match on in little over an hour, we are trying to pass the time with a little frivolity why not save the barrage until later. You might get lucky and we could lose, imagine all the after match posts you could hammer out then.

  7. Unhappy Tynecastle memories.

    Any of ye remember sweet cigarettes. Cigarette shaped sweets complete with red top to match a lighting cigarette. Tailormade to encourage young weans to embark on a life long love affair with nicotine. Ah for those politically incorrect days when gollywogs were all the fashion.

    Yeah, the Scots seemed to have a fascination for political incorrectness. We had Robertson’s Jam with their golliwog on the jar advertising. There was also Lees macaroon bars with their Pickaninny’s and grand papas adverts and didn’t Barrs soft drinks have a cartoon character called Ba Bru?

    Just because GCC say they have no “official” record of any such warnings who is to say a quiet word or two was not passed, “There will be no need to minute this bit Muriel ok?”. A little chat in the corridor, before or after the meeting, along the lines of “That Green Brigade what are they like … pause for effect … remind me again when is your Safety Cert up for renewal. Ah here’s Asst Chief Constable ??? who has some names he would like you to check for him if you wouldn’t mind.”

     

     

    The board have not handled this perfectly but neither have the Green Brigade.

  19. Re Friday meat posts.

     

    It has been claimed that once upon a time, at least one butcher’s shop n Alexandria sold sausages that could be consumed on a Friday by Catholics, who were never remotely in danger of breaching their Friday abstinence obligations.

    Yes. I remember my total lack of surprise when I first found that out. A few years ago they sported a banner at Ibrox “Ulster Scots – the people who changed the world.” They certainly left their legacy on the southern States of the USA.
